[Bug 1172740] Re: Quantal->Raring: UnicodeDecodeError: in NotEnoughFreeSpaceError

[Odin Hørthe Omdal]

I was also hit by this bug, and didn't find this one, so I made a
duplicate. In that bug, I also said that I had posted a patch to the
Debian upstream so that they could always return Unicode for size_to_str
[0].  It is really the responsibility of the library.

Title:

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Test Case]
  # apt-get install ubuntu-release-upgrader language-pack-ru vim-tiny
  # export LC_ALL=ru_RU.UTF-8
  # export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
  # export LANGUAGE=en_US
  # do-release-upgrade
  ctrl-c
  # cd /tmp/ubuntu-release-upgrader-*
  # vi DistUpgradeCache.py in line 1139 go from 50 to 5000000
  # ./dist-upgrade.py

  Observe a Traceback ending with a UnicodeDecodeError in _checkFreeSpace()
  To test the package in -proposed you'll need to use do-release-upgrade -p and switch to the new ubuntu-release-upgrader-* directory and make the modifications there.
